Natural turquoise.

The Story

Natural turquoise, unstabilised and unapologetic: the matrix runs right across the face. Grzegorz treated those markings as the piece's signature and set the silver back to let them lead.

About This Work

Natural unstabilised turquoise with its matrix running across the face of the vessel. The silver mount is set back from the stone so the natural markings remain the dominant surface.

Entirely carved, fabricated and finished by Grzegorz Kiernicki. Each vessel is a unique work created by the artist by hand.
